I am a wildlife ecologist with experience conducting field research on nearly every vertebrate group across a broad range of habitats in the US and in the Neotropics. I also have a great love for teaching, and through the classroom and mentoring have trained students in wildlife studies for many years. To me, the most important characteristic of a high quality teacher is a genuine care for student success, and the most important attribute for an effective educator is a diverse background of hands-on experiences that can be used to connect students to their interests. I believe I have been fortunate to leverage my extensive field experiences to be a successful educator in this regard.
